Isn't there a statute of limitations on this stuff? Sickening if it happened and should be punished but can't and won't. But we'll always come back to why did it take 50 years to come to light? These situations always suck and most of the time there are never winners in this.
I went in '72 when I was in 8th grade and it was in VT. I remember Pete Athis being there. I actually got to know Joe Namath and he took me to lunch at McDonalds. I ran into him again in Hartford when the Bridgeport Jets were playing the Hartford Knights. I even got a Christmas Card from him that year. Pretty cool for a kid my age

That means you went when the alleged abuse happened. The story said it happened in '72.
There isn't any indication that Namath knew about any of this.
This wouldn't surprise me. I don't know about '72 but I went in '82, I think, and Namath was barely involved. He showed up only one day, threw the ball with some kids and then you could get your picture taken with a photographer. Dockery ran the camp as far as I could tell at 13.
That is amazing. I cannot recall any high school coaches from that time. Now that I think of it I was wrong on the year. I went during the summer of '73 after 8th grade and just before I started prep school. I don't recognize that coach.
i guess we just assume it isn't and this is all a cash grab? This is fun. Where else can we make general blindly ignorant assumptions with no true regard for humanity?
there isn't a shittier and more damaging accusation to make, next to actually accusing someone of making up said accusation.
I just don't like to assume the worst in someone who may have suffered the worst from a demonic piece of shit. But that's just me.
Never mind the shame that befalls and impacts a victim of a sex crime. There's data that explains why many people wait or never press charges. It's medical data though, so some may ignore it.
no idea what was going on but I saw the article on the Fox News app and they use the words "rampant child sex abuse" in the title. Just what I have come to expect from Fox
There isn't any indication that Namath knew about any of this.
That was my take. I am not saying this guy was not abused. The story isn't about that, likely because his alleged abuser is dead. But, there was nothing to indicate Namath was ever made aware anything was going on, nor did he find out on his own.
Privacy probably does not matter so much at his age in this case. Accusations can ruin someone's life if not true.
Vermont, where the camp was located, has no statute of limitations for sexual abuse.
That’s the distinction here, Namath isn’t being accused of any abuse but that he allowed it to occur at his camp.

If you have children, I hope nothing like this ever happens to them.

Yet you state the accuser must need money. Want to walk that one back?

So, you've already decided that it didn't happen and the accuser is lying?
You are why victims stay silent for 50 years
